After I make some bad shots, it makes me bear down and concentrate more.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
People told me I made the game look easy and I didn't always look like I was trying my best, but I always was.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
There are about 100 Aboriginal communities in Australia, and I'm trying to visit as many as possible to learn as much as I can.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
The most exciting match I ever played was the 1974 US Open final against Billie Jean King.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I can think of matches I played where I played one or two points perfectly, and that gave me a thrill.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
My greatest high was to hit a ball well, to try to do it perfectly, to try different things, whether they came off or not.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
Once in a while I'll drink a rum-and-Coke but that's all, and only once in a while.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I know, everybody thinks that all Aussies love beer. I guess most of them do, but not me.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I can't explain why I play belter when I am down. It's the challenge I suppose.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I can't wear the same outfit twice without washing it. And tennis is a grueling occupation.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I'm just tired of having to say 'cheese' all the time for the press.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
Usually I have to leave parties early - just when the action is beginning.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
A man could and would wipe me off the court. I really feel that the male is naturally superior to the female in all endeavors.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I first started out by hitting a ball against a wall when I was four.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I don't know whether I'm half, quarter or what. I just know I'm aboriginal.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
When I walk out on to the court and everyone is staring, sometimes I wonder how my legs will carry me out there. That's forgotten as soon as I start playing.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I love the atmosphere of shopping in London. Sometimes I just go into a boutique, not to buy but to listen to the music.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I don't want to talk about apartheid... I'm going to South Africa to play tennis and to see the country. That's as far as it goes.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
Mum and Dad have come to Sydney to see me off on the two trips to Wimbledon. Each time I thought I mustn't cry 'cos that'll start Mum off. Each time I really bawled, and then she started up.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I'd much rather people knew me as a good tennis player than as an aboriginal who happens to play good tennis. Of course I'm proud of my race, but I don't want to be thinking about it all the time.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I keep saying to myself, 'I'm in New York.' I've heard so much about it. It's big, isn't it?
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I just have these lapses. Guess I'm stuck with it. But I play better when I get behind. I say to myself, 'Now I have to play well.'
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I don't like rushing, just like to sit down and rest before a match. Half the time I don't even look at the draw.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
In team tennis, when you're downed, you play harder because there are other people depending upon you.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
When Kelly was born, I thought seriously about retirement. But I wanted to see if it was possible to mix being a mother with tennis and the two combined very well.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
You're not just playing for yourself but for your country, and that's nerve-wracking. It makes you work harder.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I guess I had that insecurity of missing out on the normal things that everybody else does. With all the traveling I was doing I felt I was leaving something behind.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
Now that my daughter is 9 and my son is 5, I'm starting to enjoy tennis more. I've been asked to play in the over 35s, and I may do that.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
In 1971, big tournaments were very new to me. I just thought Wimbledon was one of the other tournaments.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
Nobody expected me to win Wimbledon. It was something to strive for.
Quote by -Evonne Goolagong Cawley
I hope that I am helping to create an understanding and an awareness of what happened to the Aboriginal people.
